MIAMI

Photo Miami - Wynwood Art District. Seen in the Bernard Toale Gallery, Boston, Martin Schoeller's gigantic brutal portraits of Valentino (see above) and an unrecognizable Micky Rouke, 2006, $6,700. Schoeller is known for his stripped-down faces, straightforward portraits of the famous and unknown. However, I doubt, after this unflattering portrait, he will ever be asked to photograph a Valentino advertising campaign.www.artfairsinc.com. www.martintoalegallery.comwww.Valentino.com
